Digital BW, The Print

This is my first post to the list as I've not acquired a digital printer of professional standards, 
but have an opportunity to get an Epson 4000 for $250.  The seller, who is local, says he 
hasn't used it in a month, some inks are very low and one is empty so there's no chance to 
test it really.
Given the price it's quite tempting really, but I am wondering what those experienced users 
here think would be a nightmare scenario I could get myself into.
Thanks and below is the seller's description.

"This printer was last used about 1 month ago and it worked fine. 
There are 2 empty ink cartridges and the other are very very low. 
So it will need new ink. Additionally you will probably need to run the nozzle cleanings 
because it has been sitting so long. 

There are no cover doors for the ink slots. 
There is no paper roll feed in the back either. 
Although you can use roll paper if you make your own paper stand. 

This printer does have the network card installed."
